Got my last one from Halfords….

Nah loads of them do them online without needing all the log books and faffing around, I'd check out the Irish sites, they don't need all the paperwork crap!

Also your local market place on a saturday or sunday morning is another great place to get them done cheaply and quickly!

Most of these chaps will sort you out quickly

IIRC These plates you buy off the internet are "show" plates and theoretically illegal. The only things you can have on the plate are the reg no and the name of the supplier, and the supplier needs a record of your details

The ones that don't require that stuff are based in Ireland.

Have used http://www.fancyplates.com/ before and they were fine. I like completely "clean" plates all to legal spacing, etc with no additional text (not even the name/postcode of who made them) and they did a great job.

Technically plates have to meet the relevant British Standard (that includes requirements for having the maker of the plate's details and no other text) but I have yet to come across anyone with plates of legal colour / font / size / material / no silly borders that has actually had any trouble with the law.
